Openrecruit er en rekrutteringsplatform. Med vores platform kan du tiltrække kandidater naturligt gennem moderne jobinvitationer og en karriereside, der fortæller hvem I er, ikke kun hvad I søger. Den gamle måde kender vi alle. Lukket rekruttering med CV’er, ansøgninger, ventetid og gætteri. Ansøgning. Det er tungt, langsomt og ofte uretfærdigt, for både kandidater og organisationer. Åben rekruttering vælger en anden vej. Her starter vi med en jobinvitation, hvor alle kan vise interesse. Kandidaten introducerer sig selv gennem et kort, digitalt interview. Der gives feedback, så ingen står i stilhed. Og matchningen sker på kompetencer og potentiale, ikke baggrund, titel eller netværk. Det er hurtigere. Det er mere menneskeligt. Og det er mere retfærdigt. For når vi ændrer måden, vi møder mennesker på, ændrer vi alt.

Quandify develops an intelligent water meter system for residential property owners that enables sub-metering cost-efficiently. The company’s platform uses machine learning to break down water usage data into outlets and diagnoses an entire homes water and hot water energy usage from a single, patented, non-invasive sensor. In our smartphone app, tenants then receive individually tailored nudges on how to efficiently lower usage, without sacrificing comfortability. The result is an up to 40 % decrease in water usage on average, and as a result, an energy usage reduction of 8 - 16 %, paving the way for a more sustainable and aware public and private residential real estate industry.

Squarehead Technology provides advanced microphone array systems for audio capture and acoustical zoom. A microphone array  combines a large number of individual microphones to create a highly directional audio output.  The challenge of isolating and capturing desired sound in noisy environments is a well-known problem. Our products allow an operator to zoom in on a particular area and record sound in much the same way a camera zooms in a scene. This is achieved by using sophisticated digital signal processing of audio from several hundred microphones combined into a single system. All audio channels are high quality digital signals that can be recorded without any loss.

Mova Design is a Copenhagen-based studio creating algorithmically generated, 3D-printed vases and candle holders. Each piece is designed using parametric, generative tools, producing organic, sculptural shapes that would be nearly impossible to achieve through traditional manufacturing. We're solving a problem rooted in how home decor is typically made today: mass production. Most decor on the market comes from injection-molded processes that require huge upfront tooling costs, encourage overproduction to justify that investment, and rely heavily on virgin plastics and non-sustainable materials that end up as landfill waste when trends shift or batches go unsold. Our approach flips that model. We 3D print on demand, which means no unsold inventory, no wasted material runs, and no need to produce thousands of identical units just to make the economics work. It also lets us use more sustainable, often biodegradable or recycled filaments, since we're not locked into materials chosen purely for high-volume industrial molding.

Baum Guitars is a Danish brand manufacturing high-quality instruments in Aarhus, Denmark. The Baum team design and craft a variety of guitars and basses rooted in the Danish design and modern instrument crafts. The Original Series and VEGA Series complement the Danish-made guitars by offering more accessible and approachable Baum instruments designed in the Danish custom shop and crafted in Asia. All our instruments are rooted in our love for the classics combined with our Danish approach to production, quality, and design. We care about making instruments you can put through its paces tour after tour. We believe every guitar should be inspiring and remarkable, so you can create something noteworthy. Danish design combines simplicity, functionality, and elegance into one instrument. Our instruments present sleek lines and sophisticated curves. The smooth, organic lines invite players to pick them up and plug them in to create music. Proprietary designs play a big role in why Baum guitars look, feel, and sound different. We design our hardware and pickups to streamline the Baum experience. Goldsound® pickups, Baum Precision Tuners™, TrueTone Tremolo™, and the Levitator™ roller-bridge are all fine-tuned to improve the instrument’s quality feel, sleek look, and dynamic sound. We're musicians. Just like you. We just happen to make guitars for a living. Baum started the same way most bands do. In a basement. A need to create something of your own — not a copy of something else, but something that carries your name and your decisions. That's how Morten started building guitars. One at a time, after work, in Aarhus. You do it through sound and notes. We do it through wood and design. That basement is now a small team. The guitars are now on stages around the world. And that's where we meet you.

Compliance tool that watches your product changes and keeps your privacy policy, ToS, and DPA accurate as you ship. Lawcel is an AI compliance platform that keeps your legal documents in sync with your product. It monitors product changes as they happen, through GitHub PRs, tickets, and Slack, and analyzes whether each one affects your privacy policy, terms of service, DPA, or cookie policy. When something you ship contradicts what your documents claim, Lawcel flags it with the exact impact, so compliance runs continuously alongside development instead of drifting until the next legal review.
